This is my backends.php (ingo HEAD):


$backends['procmail'] = array(
     'driver' => 'vfs',
     'preferred' => 'localhost',
     'hordeauth' => true,
     'params' => array(
         'hostspec' => 'localhost',
         'filename' => '.procmailrc',
         'vfstype' => 'ssh2',
         'port' => 22,
     ),
     'script' => 'procmail',
     'scriptparams' => array(
         'path_style' => 'maildir',
         'variables' => array(
         )
     ),
     'shares' => false
);


But I think it's not a horde problem. It's rather a problem with the  
PasswordAuthentication of the sshd server.

Failed password for xyz from 127.0.0.1 port 36792 ssh2

I think there's some misconfigured pam_ldap. sshd works fine for all  
local ldap users with keyboard-interactive authentication.  
PasswordAuthentication accepts root only.

So, this is the wrong list for that kind of topic. Sorry!

But thanks anyway!
